Wonderful Wax....

Posted on March 18 2015

Wax cotton jackets have always been an essential element in traditional country wear, loved for their practicality - waterproof, thornproof, tough as old boots with pockets large enough for a couple of rabbits but maybe not sartorially elegant. The well worn wax jacket has come a long way in the last few years in terms of both styling and the cloth itself.

Here at Julian Road we use a fantastic Staywax from British Millerain for all our jackets, the cloth has all the benefits of traditional waxes whilst offering greater versatility being machine washable and softer with a dry finish yet it still ages fantastically with the laundering adding to the character of the garment.

Take a look at our jackets, distinctive contemporary styling and every bit as practical as an old school wax but without the wet dog odour!

Julian Road began in 2011 when Clare moved back to her home county of Shropshire following a successful London based design career. Combining her love of the British countryside, traditional cloths such as British tweeds and waxed cottons, and her design expertise she launched Julian Road: a contemporary country clothing brand of thoughtfully designed pieces, with a distinctive modern look incorporating functionality and style. The cloths used are all selected from British mills. The garments are then hand cut and made in Shropshire creating a luxury product, beautifully finished with attention to detail. The clothes and accessories are innovative, individual and practical; a wonderful addition to any wardrobe.
